Pilot Season: The Watchers Watch Silo

It’s Pilot Season here at The Watchers, and this week, for our penultimate installment of our post-apocalyptic dystopian run, Jodie and Andrea watched “Freedom Day,” the first episode of the AppleTV+ series, Silo, based on Hugh Howey’s novel Wool (so far). We discuss Silo’s use of post-apocalyptic dystopia as the setting to tell a mystery story, the small town vibes inside the silo, why dystopian societies are real freaks for the mid-century modern aesthetic, and a whole lot more. 

Join us next week as we emerge from the down deep to get up close and personal with the fungus among us, in another post-apocalyptic pilot. This time, it’s The Last of Us, HBO’s adaptation of the hit video game series of the same name.
